I am just curious. Can you use a Dish-TV dish with Direct-TV, or vice-versa? I do understand you would have to re-aim, but that is a different matter. I was just wondering if the physical makeup of the dish itself was product specific.
 
depends on the dish...
(single sat reception per dish works best).
if you can mount the lnb and get the correct focal point, it will work.
I'm using an old primestar dish for 110 and an ku dish for 119, both using E* lnbs.
 
If the dish has a multi-feedhorn integrated unit on it with a built in switch (i.e. Twin, 1000.2, 1000.4 etc) you're out of luck. The two providers use incompatible switching technologies. And I don't think DirecTV stuff will work with any kind of DishPro LNBFs.
